New supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei still absent from public view as his three brothers stand beside father’s coffin

Beside the coffin of the assassinated former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei at a packed prayer hall in Tehran on Sunday there were calls for the killing of Donald Trump.

Iran is staging a week of mass funeral processions ⁠for Khamenei, who was killed along with other members of his family on the first day of the US and Israeli war on 28 February. The funeral was delayed because of the war.

The funeral prayers for the former supreme leader and four other family members created a political spectacle at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla that melded grief with calls for revenge.

Many people had stayed in the mosque overnight or arrived well before dawn to be ready for the start of the prayer reading at 8am.

Holding Iranian flags and pictures of their martyred leader, and waving red flags symbolising vengeance the crowds were vastly larger and more militant than on Saturday, the first day of this elaborately conceived funeral designed to impress on the world that Iran has social resilience and determination to preserve its independence.

“From now on the shroud is our garment. I swear by your blood; Trump’s murder is our responsibility,” Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, said at a poetry recitation immediately before the prayer reading at the farewell ceremony. He asked: “Why is the most bastard man in the world still alive? The world is no longer a good place for Trump. Why should we not kill the man who killed our imam? It would be a disgrace if we did not.”

His scripted and authorised remark led to a mixed reaction, but most cheered enthusiastically.

Why in the world does the Guardian consider self-evident information to be newsworthy?

Seems like all the worst people are doing so.

It speaks volumes of good about President Trump to have such vile people attacking him.

Dont they know they lost the war? Didnt Trump call for an “unconditional surrender” by Iran?

Oh wait! I forget. This must be The Art of the Deal.

Trump is using a fourth dimensional chess strategy

Further along we will know all about it. Further along we will understand why.

I watched some of it.
I think what was left of the Imam was in the small casket.

Oops——Israel plumb “forgot” to tell Trump Iran planned to assassinate him.

Israel DID talk Trump into bombing Iran by glibly assuring Don The Mideast Believer:
<><>Iran’s ballistic missile program would be “destroyed” in weeks.
<><>The Iran regime would be “too weak” to close the Strait of Hormuz.
<><>Street protests — with Mossad help — would “trigger a western-leaning uprising.”
<><>Kurdish fighters from Iraq could “open a ground front” in the northwest.

(None of which happened.)

Iran is staging a week of mass funeral processions ...

Did the Left here do that for George Floyd? We'd have to count stores and apartment buildings on fire and the restricted CHOP no-go zones roped off to citizens. Probably was over a week.

Ha. And our media would bleep the anti-Trump threat words and blur out the threat placards.
